City vs Southampton - LIVE!

I'd stick with the same team. Kompany has to play snd probably again at the weekend. He can have a break by not playing in the CL next week.

Must win game.

Ederson
Walker, Kompany, Otamenbdi, Delph
Fernandinho
KdB, Silva
Sterling, Aguero, Sane

Don' know about it being a must win game Dawg...but a win would be nice to open that gap up again.

I agree with your team bytheway.

Every game is a must win for me.

it's certainly a mustn't loose  :p

think will be pretty much same team, don't be surprised if Zinchanko gets a run at LB or some surprise in there...
maybe Foden in for Dave?  something Saints won't be expecting to mix the pack up and keep a tiny bit of rest in there...

Which should be the easier game, Saints or hammers at home? 

I still think play the best players whenever you can. They’ll get their rest by not going to Ukraine

oddly enough, Zinchenko can't go and play in Ukraine  :p
he's been getting more involved around the training ground and I think Pep might be looking to keep some. 
Even with a week off on champions league duty for a few, we still will have to travel with most of the squad,, and playing 3 games in the 9 days before flying out will tell on some legs...

I think after Huddersfield, a tiny change might help

For me if you want to avoid another stones type injury from muscle fatigue then you need to rotate as much as possible. I would give Walker a rest & put Danilo on the right. Kompany got taken off early so I would start with him, but maybe think about replacing him in the 2nd half depending on his condition. Maybe get Gundogan in there too & if he's looking off the pace replace him with Fernandinho in the 2nd half. Start Jesus with Kun on the bench. Then you just reverse these changes for West Ham.

Agree with you SB.

The medical staff will assess the players to see if they're fit enough. Usual scenario for me. Get a good lead and rest some players after 60 minutes.

Have never know saints to come and park the bus so I think this could be a big win tonight,  Hammers much more likely to park the bus, but we should be winning both comfortably.

I want a win and a clean sheet.  Nothing would piss the rags off more than knowing that our defense is as mean as theirs, despite being crap and containing Mangala 

I think we have Sane and Ferdi both 1 booking away from a ban. 
They should both play tonight and if they don't get booked tonight rest them on Saturday. We will need them both for the match at the swamp.

or they might just "accidentally" pick up bookings like KDB did against Feynoord...

60 minutes, if not in the book, go and sarcastically clap the ref to get one before being subbed off..

getting a booking for dissent is a little risky because people will question it. Like some jokingly questioned the KdB booking against Feyernood.

WOW! Silva dropped for Gundogan and Sané dropped for Jesus

dropped=rested

Thought there'd be changes, but surprised Silva was rested. I'd have given Ferdy a rest..3 games in a week!

Can live with that, plenty for a comfortable evening.

Good idea but if it's decided that they got themselves booked deliberately then it's a 2  match ban

If they score, they could take their shirt off and get booked 'legitimately'

Am surprised Sane not even on the bench

Diaz on the bench

But no Foden

Just when the team selection was starting to get a little predictable he shakes it up. I like it

Any good streams...please can you post them on here?

A win tonight and we get to 40 points.

will that be enough fir safety this season though???

Brahim is on the bench, hopefully he will get some minutes in the 2nd half.

Got a bad feeling about tonight.....

Bloody hell, this must be the first time Franny Lee has set foot in our stadium since he sold us!

5 changes for South Hampton with an extra defender MF player

Agureo looks in a good mood

LINKS, LINKS, LINKS please!!

can't find anything tonight

so much fucking time wasting

so lucky. they hit the post

easier to score than miss

shite header from Otamendi!!

totally free header

fucking Kompany fouling again

that's what i've just found bluey

wtf is otamendi doing tonight??????

we don't look good

Gundogan is non-fucking-existent again!!! Get the fuck in this game!!!

Edderson, Sterling & Ferno have been faultless, but otherwise its poor passes & sloppy play everywhere else.

fans are frustrated
